My husband, daughter and her husband and four children (one 11 year old and three 8 year olds) and I stayed at Puerto Galera Sarimanok from December 26 to January 5/13. The homemade meals, refreshing pool outside the door, spectacular view, kind helpers, comfortable furnishings and accommodation made our visit a pleasure. The children loved the freedom of the garden and racing down to the beach; daily walks to town were always an adventure; even the rain did nothing to dampen our spirits! The floor to ceiling windows on three sides of the villa create perfect ambience with the beauty of the outdoors with the palm trees, plants, flowers and bushes. The neighbourhood roosters do a fine job of reminding everyone that day does begin when they say so! and our favourite was the sweet dog (belonging to the groundsman) whom we called "Beeno" - who graciously adopted us and executed exemplary manners by never stepping beyond the threshold of the villa. Our two helpers were two kind ladies who took care of our needs and cooked sumptuous meals for us. Our hosts, Xavier and Shyla, also greeted us warmly and made us all feel part of the family. All in all, a marvelous holiday. My husband and I live in the frozen north of Canada and the heat in Puerto Galera was a blessed change!
